Dynamic register system with an adapter member for oscillating air vents

Abstract

A dynamic register system automatically adjusts venting panels attached to an air vent in order to evenly disperse the air supplied by the vent in a room. The dynamic register system includes a fan internally mounted within the air vent. The air supplied by the air vent causes the fan to turn providing the system with mechanical energy. The fan is then attached to a gear system which in turn is attached to an adapter. The gear system then translates the rotational mechanical energy of the fan into an oscillating motion for the adapter. The adapter is then mounted to an axle which engages with the venting panels attached to the vent. As the adapter oscillates the axle is adjusted which in turn adjusts the venting panels periodically to evenly distribute air.
